This is 10-minute murder.

Welcome to 10-minute murder, the brief and bingeable true crime podcast. My name is Joe, and I'm the host. I'm glad you're here. And as hosting creator of this show, I have the task of deciding what gets talked about here. And early on when I first started doing this, I just did stories that were interesting to me. and the only person listening back then was my

sister, and she's too nice to be critical. But now that there are thousands of you listening,

I've made a conscious effort to only talk about cases that you all suggest to me. And that way,

I know at least one other person wants to hear about it. I tend to like weird stuff, and sometimes

that doesn't have mass appeal,

which is fine. Not everything is for everyone. But the reason I'm even mentioning all this is,

I know, Joe, get to the point. It's because today's story was submitted by me. Not a single

soul asked for this one. It's one of those cases that if you had your own podcast, I would message you

on Facebook and ask you to cover it. Back in the early 70s, when police detectives, judging by

crime shows that I've seen, would dip their fingers in blood and rub them together and say,

this is blood. Like, hey, bro, you're contaminating the crime scene.

We know that's blood.

Well, back in the less than modern age of forensic science,

they relied on different techniques of crime solving,

and that kind of stuff is interesting to me.

So today, we're talking about the alphabet murders.

Thank you. murders.

In Rochester, New York, between 1971 and 1973, a series of child murders occurred with very interesting detail that connected all of them.
